Milano Straps
Military Leather Burgundy Italian Leather Strap
The watch strap was developed by the British Ministry of Defense and named after the item’s stock number. It was issued to soldiers provided they filled out a G1098 form, which gave the strap another nickname - the G10. As with most military equipment, the strap was created for functionality. Its one-piece design provides fail-safe operation as the strap connects to each of the spring bars separately. If one of the bars ever breaks or pops out, the watch will remain securely on your wrist. Product Benefits:
Hand-crafted with genuine Italian calf leather
One size fits nearly all wrists, infinitely adjustable
Fail-safe — remains on the wrist even if a spring bar breaks
Superior comfort, leather molds to your wrist with time
Easily pairs with any watch - cheap, expensive, vintage or modern
Inexpensive way to add variety to your watch wardrobe a Military strap will fit nearly any wrist as it’s infinitely adjustable. On a smaller wrist, the excess strap can be fashionably tucked back into the keeper. In the event of a larger wrist without any excess, the end of the strap terminates near the second keeper.
It’s a perfect fit for all. Besides practicality, the Military strap comes with an unmatched cool factor. How cool?
James Bond 007 cool. In Goldfinger, we see the original Bond, played by Sean Connery, checking his Rolex Submariner which sports a Military style strap. Undoubtedly, this helped propel the Military strap into the mainstream and engraved it into the hearts of watch enthusiasts across the globe. What’s great about the G10 is its versatility. You don’t have to be a sharp looking M16 British Agent driving an Aston Martin DB5 to rock one of these. It pairs great with anything cheap or expensive, vintage or modern. It will work just as well on a Timex as it does on a Rolex, Omega or even a Patek Phillipe. It’s an inexpensive way to add some variety to your watch wardrobe.

Customer Reviews
This good looking strap arrived without a buckle, which rendered it inoperable, so I returned it.
Very well made and soft leather
Great strap, comfy and quality. Only issue is the length, I have 7.6” wrists and this strap has almost no tail to tuck in, I am on the second to last hole. Other than that it’s great.
The quality of the leather is very nice. I used it for my Rolex DateJust. It really look expensive NATO strap. It’s a five star for me.
Beautiful Strap in every aspect. Milano NEVER disappoints.
Thank you!

How to Change a watch band with quick release spring bars
Ensure that the replacement band has quick-release spring bars attached to it. These spring bars have small levers or buttons that allow for easy removal without the need for additional tools.
Place your watch face down on a soft cloth or surface. Locate the quick-release spring bars on the current watch band. They will have small levers or buttons on their ends. Simply press or lift the levers/buttons to release the spring bars from the lugs. Once both spring bars are released, you can easily slide off the old leather band.
Take the replacement leather watch band with the quick-release spring bars already attached. Align one end of the band with a lug on the watch case. Press the lever/button on the spring bar, allowing it to retract and fit into the lug. Repeat the process for the other end of the band, attaching it to the corresponding lug. Ensure that both ends of the new band are securely attached.
Put the watch on your wrist and check if the new band requires any adjustments for a comfortable fit. If necessary, use the adjustment holes on the band to achieve the desired tightness or looseness.
